This is from the online repo right? Then that's easuter's realm. I'm also going to upgrade from 2.8.6 to 2.8.7. That'll be included in Beta 2 as well and should be in the repo if easuter or exterdad can get to it when I release.

Downloaded and install the complete Beta of the bounus Disc. haven't tried everything yet ,but still can not get Audacity to work. It gives me the error message Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate.

I don't think this is a bug. Start Audacity and go to Edit->Preferences->Audio I/O. Make sure that hw:0 (or something) under Alsa is selected for both record and playback. Mess with those settings and see if it fixes it.

I have already done that and it made no difference. the sound card works fine with xmms movies and other sound events. so don't know what the trouble can be.
